I got a problem on my Atom Life. I pair my i-tech R35 BT headset , no problem at all . I can listen to music. But i hear no sound while receive/making a phone call.
I pick it to O2Zone and they said it's a software bug !!
Can give some advice for some trouble shooting on my own ?
It's not that there's no sound. The same thing happens with O2 Exec. When you receive a call, press the button on the headset and hold for about 1 second. Then release and wait for about 5 seconds. The volume of the sound in the beginning is very soft, but after a while it will become normal. Do not press the button again even if you cant hear the sound in the beginning as this will end the call.
I don't think this is a bug, but a feature to protect the ears (sudden increase in volume may hurt the ears). The volume also increases slowly when starting up WMP and listening to music.
Sorry. your method is not working . no matter how many seconds I press/hold the button on BT headset ,
I test my BT headset with other phone . i dont need to care & it's no problem at all .
"fade in" may exist in normal situtation. but in my case , nothing i can hear in a phone call.. Tested with different brand of BT headset already !
That's very strange. I'm using Atom Life with the R35 too, and it accepts calls with no problems.
There is, however, one issue. Atom Life's biggest selling point, it's SRS WOW system, does not work in A2DP mode. That's very sad. Do you have this problem, or is there a workaround?
Thx your info first.
I'll arrange a replacement again!!
You mean SRS cant run in A2DP ? this happen to me too.

I want to be able to play sounds through the normal speaker, even though a headset is attached to the device (Blue Angel, in this case).
(The built-in telephone does this with its ring tones when a headset is attached.)
Only one WaveOut device is shown as present.
Anyone has a solution, or an idea?
nobody knows anything about this?
there's physical switch that disables the speaker after you plug in the earphones jack. its PHYSICAL, no amount of code will overcome this.
hey!!.. screw the last post. I managed to do what you wanted.
speaker + headset both rings, even when headset is connected... let me fix the code, then I will get back to you... ok
I'm waiting patiently!
Hi esbjorn,
din want to keep you waiting. but i think i finally found out exactly is going on.
there's only 1 device. however, the device enables both speaker and headset WHEN THERE'S AN INCOMING CALL, which you already know. Whether its hardware or software, I have yet to determine it.
I had a lot of code around and got confused. sorry if I gave you any false hope.
anyway, this is my hypothesis, windows has code to control only this 1 waveout device. when a call comes in, it decreases the volume of all sounds being played. it then plays the ringtone at a volume based on its registry. (try changing the attentuation in SoundCategories->Ring) it gives the effect (a loud ringtone and soft background audio) that there are actually 2 waveOut devices when there's only 1.
I will be working on it further, let me know if you make progress too.
Anyone have a problem like this:
I did a had reset but it still is doing this-
The speaker plays my ringtones out loud even when my headphones are plugged in!!
Thanks,
Daniel
Mine has always been like that, whicever ROM I used.
Really????
My old XDA never did this...
So if i'm listening to music I run the risk of having my ringtone play out loud??
Is the only solution to change my ring prefrences to vibrate only when i'm listening to music (since the phone volume itself cannot be muted)??
When I preview the sound it doesnt play out loud
I don't have such problem with original headset. But, if I use bluetooth headset it happens.
So this is not normal....
How do I fix it?
I tried a hard reset- didn't work!!
Playing the ringtone out of the speaker even though the headphones are in is normal with most if not all phones. The headphones are only to listen to music and calls.
If you had the phones in but not in your ears and the phone rang only in the headphones how would you hear it?
Why would your headphones be plugged in if you are not listening to music?? And to answer your question- you would know the phone is riging by it vibrating.
Anyways- many people told me this is not normal...so there must be a way to change it.
Also, when I am in silent or vibrate mode and I accidentaly or even purposely push my Voice Command button the beep sound will come out of the speaker-
It will change the sound icon from Vibrate or Silent to the regular icon but will stay in silent/vibrate mode-
Is this normal??
-Daniel
Not sure about the voice command question but with regards "WHy would you have your headphones in if you're not listening to music" the answer is to use the phone handsfree.
Whether this is in the car (law over here) or while in the office a lot of people over here use headphones instead of holding the phone to your ear, some believe that the safer or healthier. No real proof but handsfree is popular.
Saw this same post on the Neonode forum and the SE's do the same so I presumed normal and as I say if you were using the headphones as handsfree if actually a good thing. Yes the vibrate would tell you but say you're at someone else's desk and can't hear the phone vibrating across your desk (hell of a vibrate really isn't it).
Anyway, hope that answers the headphones question
So why did some people say this doesn't happen to them?
That's an unanswerable question. It could be any number of reasons and going on the state of play with the ROMs is possibly down to this.
Going through the forums its amazing the number of people that have different problems with apparently the same phone.
I have the exact same problem, and am still looking for a solution.
The most irritating thing is that when I turn all ringtones off (only vibrate on) and I receive an incoming call, the sound that is currently playing (windows media player or some other program) is played for a fraction of a second thru the external speaker (the program pauses the mp3 playback on an incoming call, but this happens to late). Because of this it's impossible to use the phone for MP3 playback in a place where it's important that no sound is produced.
It would be really nice to completly turn the external speaker off when a headset is plugged in (i find it really strange this isn't the case right now).
It would be nice if someone found a solution for this (in my opionion) huge problem.
Yea,
I found this is irritating too,
I am using pocketMax Phonealarm
and mute:
- system volume
- phone volume
but max the call volume ( as I think that's required to answer a call)
I plugged my headset (using 2.5mm to 3.5mm jack) and listen the music using winamp & increase the volume, apparently the system volume is increased too ==> I think that's the reason why everytime:
- incoming phone call
- any reminder
is sounded in the headset too.... totally [email protected]@[email protected]#
Any solution for this????!!!!!
I have no idea what caused this (no drops recently) but would REALLY appreciate some help as my phone is really useless at the moment.
Presently, absolutely NO sound comes out of my phone at any point, via speakers or headphones, except during calls, where i can hear the other person but they cant hear me, i.e. microphone isnt functioning.
I have no idea what causes this, I have done a hard reset and inserted and removed headphones many times.
I should clarify that by absolutely no sound, I mean nothing on the phone works sound wise. You can in fact hear a really faint clicking/popping sound occasionally, but its grey noise, its not really quiet versions of what the sound is meant to be.
Many thanks if anyone can help!
I also made a brief voice recording on the phone and copied it to my PC to find it was blank, so microphone doesnt work outside of a call either.
.. summary: mic broken, speakers only work in a call.
Help?
Bump! Please?
try pairing with a bluetooth headset, you should be ok ... seems your sound driver is corrupt, did you by any chance increrase the preamp a lot in tcpmp and play sound for a while before experiencing this?
Cheers for the reply!
I hadn't done anything out of the ordinary like you mentioned, it just stopped working. I have done a hard reset, wouldnt that sort out a bad sound driver?
And, as far as I know I have no access to a bluetooth headset, why would that be any different anyway?
Is there any chance a rom reflash could help? I'm at last resorts here, I'm thinking about buying a palm!! (for budget reasons)
I will try it if it could work, trouble is the usb port is very dodgy, dis- and re-connects very often, so that could be dodgy for a reflash?
:'( !!
also mine is off!! just hearphone works, but built-in speakers are dead!
PLEASEEE help me!!
same problem occured to me...
if you were using a normal headset and after you plugged it out the sound started to break apart then do the following:
1-turn your media player on and start playing any audio file while volume is at MAX...
2-try to plug it in first and then test if the sound comes out of the headset normally...
3-then plug the heasdset out of the device (not all of it keep some of the jack inside the headset hole) do that in slow motion....yes...in slow motion and try to focus in making the sound goes out of the headset and the device at the sametime....
4-if you managed to make the sound BLOWS OUT from the speakers then the problem is because you plugged out the headset too quickly which generated a shock (actually i dont know if that's the accurate definition)
5- try to twist the headset jack left and right and plug it out gentely while the sound is still going out of the speakers...
and thats it...
hope your device will get well soon

I did steps you mentioned and get my sound back!!
Thank you wizzmaster..!
When I'm using a wired headset to talk to someone on a call the volume is kinda low, I have it set max but its still pretty low, works fine on speaker or BT. Also the same wired headset works very loud when on a movie or music, just low when on a call.
Any fix to this?
Would like to know this aswell... Impossible to hear what people are saying when using the headset
I too find that headset and speaker volume are low. ( comparison to few other phones )
Cannot hear in a noisy environment.
Tried Volume + but does not seem to help .
I experienced this problem as well. Looks like this is a hardware problem (either the pin or the socket).
Try using a different headset - one without a mic. You sould see a significant gain in volume.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Its a hardware issue, swapped my phone for a new one today and dont have the problem anymore.
The service menu edit doesnt really help at all and the volume gain is minimal.
Anyone else having issues like this should request your carrier or samsung for a replacement. It only happens to a handful of phones.
I assume there are two seperate audio chips, the yamaha one for audio and another for voice calls??
Can anyone confirm?
I have a problem when I go with the earphones listen music o the radio if I receive a calling I cant speak to the phone because it doesnt work if the earphones are pluging on the device.
That it's very anoying and I have to unpluged the earphone, and when the calling is finishe the music is playing through the speaker phone.
I need a solution.
Thank you very much
Does the microphone work when you aren't listening to music?
Have you tried switching from speaker to headset softkey option within the phone call to get it to work?
I have Jabra Chill and everything works perfectly...what is your software version
The problem is when you pug your headphone in the phone the micro doesn't work and if you receive a call the person who is calling you doesn't hear anything.
dlamber7 I dont Know how is the soft key are you talking about because when I receive a call in the screen of the phone is speaker mute and anothes icons I dont remember, thank you anyway

My Software version is 7.10.7720.68 TOUCH-IT modify ROM
I got the same Problem. Do your volume buttons work?
My guess is: I used the headphones on my iPod and pressed a button on the headphones - since then they do not work with my phone any more..
My volume keys works perfect, thank you...
It will solve upgrade the SO 7740...until I know that it solves my problem I dont do anything.
Well I've been using my trophy for almost a year now and never had that problem, despite frequently listening to music on it (on headphones right now, and just did a voice search through the handset microphone), so I can't imagine what could he causing your problem.
The only potential workaround that comes to mind is to get a pair of headphones with a mike in them, and use the phone hands-free.

Are you using the headphones that came with the phone? Are you talking about the microphone on the phone?
Joe
I dont use the hedaphones that came with the phone I use a sennheiser, these work perfectly with a nokia (N8-00) and I dont know what it is the problem.
I try to find the original headphones and I will say if the problem it solves.
And I am talking about the microphone on the phone it doesnt work it is like the phone doesnt recognize they are a headphones and no a handset.
